C&r fails HJrrss. | TtTEsDAY"MORNING. JAN. *#. 1M« A Distressing Cask.—A man by the name of Wilton came to this city some years ago, says the Richmond Dispatch of the 16th, aud became a sergeant in the Public Guard. About two years since he engaged the affections of a very young and amiable girl, residing near the canal* married her, and became the father of children. Some time before the surren der, he concluded to go North, under the pretext oT making a better provision for > his family. Leaving his young wile with her aged mother, to battle with poverty as best she might, he succeeded in running the blockade, and turned up in New York, whence he wrote most affectionately, and gave very flattering accounts of his business, and since the surrender made his business an apology for not returning. His wife, believing his statements implicitly, felt, neverthe less, an irresistible impulse to go on to see him ; but having lost every thing by the fire in April last, was unable to go. Nothing daunted, she, with her mother, worked most industriously aud earned money to make the trip. On reaching New York, judge of her sur prise and distress to find that her hus band had a wile and four children with prior claims upon her—he being a mar ried man before coming to Virginia. The poor woman, with a crushed heart, m de this melancholy announce merit to her mother, from whom, with the aid of friends, she received money enough to return home, when she was taken down, seemingly without any posi tive disease, and pined away until death ended her sorrows. She was yesterday committed to an early grave. Wilton, we believe, during his resi dence here, bore a good character, but hy this act has brought upon himself an eternal weight of infamy.
